You are ridiculous and part of the problem.

The CFL is not a minor league to the NFL like the AHL is to the NHL. It is a completely different game and there have been many CFL stars who went on to be NFL stars, and many NFL players who completely faceplanted in the CFL.

It's like comparing Rugby to Aussie Rules football, they're just different games. Plus the CFL is more exciting so to me anyone who says they'd "rather watch an NFL exhibition game than the CFL" is just gullible enough to be caught up in the hype machine.
